Signal talks to a Day Laborer

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

I applaud the Signal for its courageous report today in the face of overwhelming public support for Bob Kellar and his remarks:

His feet blistered as he crept closer to the U.S.-Mexico border. He passed dozens of holes covered with rocks – the unmarked graves of others who had died along the way.

“What if that is my fate?” Lopez said he had asked himself. “What if that happens to me?”

The American Dream kept him going – the idea that he could earn more than four times what he made in Mexico.

Lopez, 39, is an illegal immigrant.

He’s been caught and deported once, and has made the brutal trek across the border three times with hopes of giving his children a chance to have the education and shot at the American Dream he never did.

A wise journalist once told me that a newspaper’s job is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. And that’s what Jonathan Randles’ great reporting does today. Men like Lopez scratch out a meager living doing the chores that comfortable Santa Claritans don’t want to do. We know because we finally bothered to talk to one of them.

Good newspaper reporting also puts you, the reader, in the shoes of the person being reported on. We can see that Lopez’ decision to live and work here is rational, from an economic standpoint. He earns $250-$500 a week doing the work we ask of him, much more than he would earn in Mexico. His motivation isn’t different from the millions of western, southern and and eastern European immigrants who came here over the last two centuries.

And with Randles’ reporting, we can see a way forward. You don’t like that men like Lopez live in the shadows among us? Then support legislation that closes the borders and penalizes him but gives him a way forward out of the underground economy that Americans are only to happy to exploit. It’s the only way.

Congressman McKeon says Bob Kellar should apologize about proud racist comment

Monday, February 1st, 2010

During Congressman Buck McKeon’s tele-town hall tonight, a woman from Valencia asked McKeon for his thoughts on Bob Kellar’s “Proud Racist” statement at a January 16 anti illegal immigrant rally.

McKeon said he agreed that illegal immigration was a problem and said that the USA is a nation of laws. McKeon said he hadn’t read the reports closely but understood that Kellar was speaking in reference to a Teddy Roosevelt quote when Kellar stated that he was a proud racist.

That said, McKeon was unambigous about what Bob Kellar should do:

“It’s unfortunate that Bob made that statement,” McKeon said.

It was “a very unfortunate statement. I would like to see Bob issue an apology,” McKeon continued.

The woman from Valencia  explained that she was at the rally, appreciated Kellar’s appearance there, and thought that Kellar had been unfairly treated by some in Santa Clarita. She said Kellar was a proud American, at which point McKeon stated, “That’s what he should have said,” followed by a short laugh.

The woman ended her comments saying that “There is a movement rising up in this valley against illegal immigration that is not going to slow down anytime soon.”

Concluding his call, Buck McKeon said that Kellar should “Get it clarified, get it cleared up, apologize to everyone and move on.”

Some city council candidates like TimBen Boydston and Harrison Katz have said that Kellar ought to apologize for his statement. David Gauny, in contrast, has defended Kellar. Yesterday, the Meg Whitman campaign dropped Bob Kellar’s endorsement over the comments.

Kellar has told several media outlets and hundreds of residents at a recent City Council meeting that he stands by his comments. However, he has told KHTS that he wishes he had used different wording.

The discussion above occurred over the phone and live via U-Stream. Once there is an archive of the show, I will post it here.

Not a Ferry Fan back on a Tube near You

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Not a Ferry Fan, Chair of the Santa Clarita Valley Know Nothings, is back. I apologize for not seeing his funny little videos sooner, but after a ten month break, he posted his first one in December right as I was riding my bike up a mountain in Hawaii and thus, I missed it.

First up: a doozy. Apparently Frank Ferry ripped into the Town Council form of government on the West Side of Santa Clarita during a Santa Clarita Council meeting. I’m not sure if this happened in December, but it’s new footage to me so I thought I’d post it:

NAFF’s number one target during his two + year reign of YouTube hilarity has always been Councilman Frank Ferry. Some of his videos about the 12+ year councilman are dead on; others, well they don’t really make sense. Whatever the case, it looks like FrankenFerry will be back for this year’s Council election as Ferry seeks another term in office.

If you’re not familiar with NAFF’s volume of work, count yourself lucky. The anonymous YouTuber clearly has a political agenda, but divining what that agenda is like trying to read heiroglyphics without the Rosetta stone. He (or she) is:

  • Critical of the City Council when they approve too many developments
  • Critical of the City Council when they hassle local developers
  • He evidently moved here from the San Fernando Valley (he’s always referencing it, thus confirming my stereotypes)
  • Worried about over population of Santa Clarita
  • Distrustful and hostile to alternative transportation
  • He pre-dates the Tea Party crowd but probably attends their meetings
  • Thinks Ken Pulskamp pulls all the levers of local government and development
  • Worried that people like me want him to live in “hi density” (sic) urban tenements
  • He is angry that there are so many people around him
  • He uses the term “suburban bedroom community” un-ironically

Indeed, if you watch enough of NAFF’s videos, you’ll realize rather quickly they aren’t even internally consistent. For instance, in this video:

He posts footage of a crowded street full of cars then mocks Marsha McLean for suggesting residents use other, greener forms of transportation. “We’ll just ride our little bicycles all over town while you clobber up our limited traffic corridors, rrrrriiggght” he says, tossing in a bit of global warming denialism for good measure.

Apparently NAFF thinks “traffic” is a term you use to refer to all the other cars around you when you’re driving down the street, alone in your car.

But no one said local politics had to make sense or be consistent. NAFF’s main point seems to be that there is no distinction between the City Council, City staff and developers; they are one, and they are elitist, know-it-alls and the rage is justified to save the SCV from the SFV’s fate.

But in 2010, as we enter the City Council race, I’m wondering if there are more NAFFs out there. Is he representative of a certain frightened SCV demographic that some savvy Council candidate might tap into as we enter this year’s Council race?

A Sincere Form of Flattery

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

From today’s Signal, the announcement of a daily e-newsletter, the phallically-named “Qwik-e” (dubbed personally by Ian Lamont):

The Qwik-e presents a fast-paced roundup of breaking local news headlines, the latest updates on developing stories, community calendar listings, and previews of news, sports, entertainment and lifestyle stories plus photographs slated for the next day’s Signal newspaper.

Was I the only one who immediately thought of the SCVTalk Daily Brief?

More:

Adding to the Qwik-e’s interactivity and fun is the daily “Where in the SCV is THIS?” photo contest. Readers can click to send an e-mail with their guesses about the location of today’s photo, and go to the “Where in the SCV is THIS?” page on The-Signal.com to find out the location of the previous day’s photo.

Perhaps this is just a coincidence, but IHeartSCV ran a three-part SCVenger Hunt contest too.  Hmm…

From the managing editor Lila Littlejohn:

Qwik-e combines the best aspects of quality journalism and digital-age immediacy and interactivity with a sense of humor that’s in keeping with the online medium

Hearkens back to Lamont’s warm blogosphere shout-out:

After all, it is not bloggers who will be trusted and respected to provide solid, interesting, valued and accurate reporting. It will still be the professional journalists in the working media.

As far as I can tell, up until now, the Brief was SCV’s only daily news mashup that blended external and local content into a succinct, SCV-centric summary of the past 24 hours.

Since the Sunday print edition, the online version of the launch article was curiously updated to include the genesis of the concept.

Kudos to The Signal for putting together a promising product.  Even with this addition, though, The Signal remains a one-way reporting source for news without the debate and banter that defines the Humble SCVTalk.com.

Old Town Newhall Renaissance

Friday, January 15th, 2010

renaissance: a renewal of life, vigor, interest, etc.; rebirth; revival

Oh mi God, did I just use the words “Renaissance” and “Newhall” in the same sentence?

Indeed I did. Because that’s how impressed I am with the remaking of Old Town Newhall. Join me on a brief visual tour of this strange and new place:

More than anything else, the streetscaping of half of Main Street -completed just last year- has not only remade the look and feel of Newhall, it’s really unified the area. By streetscaping, I’m counting the diversion of traffic onto Railroad, the new and handsome brickwork on the sidewalk, the benches, lights, and horse tie-off posts (sorry) and even the sapling trees.

This place is now a pedestrian-oriented shopping and entertainment district. To invoke Bob Kellar, it’s fantastic ladies and gentlemen.

It’s a pleasure to walk around this area of town now. It no longer feels scummy, run-down or forgotten. They’ve built it into a centerpiece for the community. It’s a place you want to spend time in, and I dare say it’s more enjoyable to stroll in this area of town that it is to walk around Town Center Drive or Bridgeport Marketplace or any of the other dime-a-dozen strip malls in town.

A great sidewalk is one thing, but what is actually in Old Town Newhall that could attract you? Well, it’s not there yet (perhaps not even close), but businesses are recognizing the benefits of OTN now and things are starting to come together.

In this block you can see the nice facade of Cooksbook Plus. For the foodies, it easily rivals Barnes & Noble and other big-box retailers when it comes to cookbooks. Likewise, next door is the Out West retailer, which, to be honest, I haven’t had the courage to enter (I’m a phony westerner who is allergic to horses).

Point is that there are businesses in Newhall that the average Valencian or Stevenson Ranch person might find attractive now.

And even if there aren’t, there’s other reasons to come down:

The Newhall Farmer’s market is still going on Thursday afternoons. I know it’s nothing compared to the COC Farmer’s market, but surely it’s a welcome weekly event for this side of the valley. In the springtime, it’s nice to come down here after work with your wife and buy some fruits to tide you over until Sunday.

As The Signal reported, OTN recently scored another new tenant that ought to attract SCVers. Newhall Bicycle, owned by Roger Hasper, moved from an industrial/grungy spot on Railroad to a property roughly half the size on Main Street. Roger told me he’s saving a bundle of money on Main Street, the parking is better, and the store has more visibility.

When I visited last, he all but offered to have a valet service for people who bicycled to the farmer’s market. Cool huh?

I support all of the SCV’s bicycle shops (all of them locally owned by the way), but Roger’s has a hipness element to it that the others lack. Stop in and check it out and look forward to this summer’s reggae party, which might be out in the street.

One more detail shot of the handsome brickwork. Doesn’t the Walk of Fame look 10 times better surrounded by brick than old concrete?

There are other tasteful and subtle details in OTN. I dig these “Newspaper” racks that line Main Street. Classy and much nicer looking than the standard news racks.

You can see some of the merchants and businesses down there are taking note of the Renaissance. The dentist hung hung a little tooth sign, much nicer than a big neon board or giant marquee.

It’s also cool that the REP and CTG are still going strong in OTN.

Of course, the OTN Renaissance can have other effects as well. Downtown areas tend to attract crazy people, and now Newhall, just like the big cities we all moved here to escape from, has crazy people too. This woman was protesting outside of Supervisor Antonovich’s field office, exhorting people like the unfortunate elderly woman above to read the US of A Constitution.

When I asked her what she was protesting she went on a crazy rant against Department of Child and Family Services, the LA County Sheriff’s Department, and the Megan’s Law list her husband was now on (eek).

I figure she wouldn’t be protesting if there wasn’t foot traffic, so I count her protest as a success for Old Town Newhall. I know you moved here to get away from this kind of thing, but there’s really nothing to be afraid of!

During this long weekend, I really encourage you to come down to OTN and have a walk-about. I only covered part of it. I think you’ll be pleased.

Signal suspends all local columns after Lutness admits to plagiarism

Monday, December 28th, 2009

As Tim reported below, Signal columnist and one-time Democratic challenger to Cameron Smyth, Carole Lutness, has been accused of plagiarizing  parts of an education column she sent to The Signal in November.

Today, she admitted to that fact. From The Signal:

“It’s plagiarism,” admitted Lutness, a local Democratic activist. “I went to Google and I typed in ‘history of public education in the United States’ and I took a paragraph from it. … It was succinct and I was wrong.”…
“In this day and age of Google, you can find so much so easily and it’s very easy to cut and paste,” Lutness said. “There’s no excuse for it.”

Lutness further admitted that there might be more plagiarized work in her published columns.

Following this, The Signal posted a second lengthy article, condemning Lutness’ plagiarism and suspending all local Signal columnists for one week, pending review of how the paper reveiws local columns. This email was sent by Josh Premako, Opinion Editor, to local columnists:

All,

As you may be aware through postings on several local Web sites, a Nov.
10 Democratic Voices column by Carole Lutness contained several examples
of plagiarism. This comes on the heels of a similar case of plagiarism
in a Right Here, Right Now column by Lynn Vakay.

This is disappointing on several levels, and has only reinforced to me
that we as a paper need to step back and retool some of the steps a
column must go through before being published.

As a result, effective immediately we are suspending all local columns
for a week, and will resume publication of local columnists on Wed. Jan.
6, 2010.

Over the next several days The Signal’s editorial board will discuss how
we can better prevent plagiarism, and revised and strengthened
guidelines will be communicated to you, our valued columnists, as soon
as possible.

Thank you for your understanding. Please feel free to contact me with
any questions.

Best,

Josh Premako

Opinion and Business Editor

The Signal Newspaper

These two acts of gross plagiarism leave me furious on a number of levels. In Catholic school, I was taught that plagiarism was as close to an unforgivable sin as one could get. Plagiarizing even short portions of a published work could lead to suspension or expulsion, even in junior high.

In high school and college I resisted the temptation to not only plagiarize, but to let others copy from me in exchange for money or favors.

That these two pillars of their respective political schools simply Googled some work and CTRL-C,CTRL-Vd their way into a column for our paper leaves me shocked and angry.

Yet I can’t blame the two disgraced columnists completely. If my 6th grade nun teacher had the means to check for plagiarism, surely the Signal can. There’s multiple websites out there- articlechecker.com, Plagiarismdetect.com, TurnItIn.com, and more, many of which are free. If professors at COC can check dozens of papers submitted to them every semester (and they do, believe me), why can’t The Mighty Signal check a few measly columns a week?

Note that these two acts of plagiarism have occurred under Ian Lamont’s watch. The same Ian Lamont who denigrated bloggers as irresponsible in the past, saying “your local bloggers cannot be expected to provide” accurate and valued content.

Isn’t it ironic that it was two local blogs that pointed out both cases of plagiarism!

And now we all lose out as other columnits -on both the left and the right- are punished for the sins of two and the lax attitude of The Signal.

12 Questions for The Signal’s Brian Charles

Monday, December 28th, 2009

Brian Charles joined The Signal in 2008 and immediately had an impact on the paper’s quantity and quality of local reporting. By early 2009, The Signal sent him to Washington DC to cover the Inauguration of Barack Obama, and since then he’s covered crime in Santa Clarita. He’s proven to be a versatile reporter, covering everything from mysterious murders to the City Council, to local development issues.

As is the case with so many talented Signal reporters before him, Charles is moving on to a bigger newspaper but before he departs The Signal and the SCV, he agreed to answer a few questions from SCVTalk’s readers and editors.

SCVTalk:Why are you leaving The Signal?

BC:I was offered a job at the Pasadena Star-News. Of course there are financial considerations. The Star-News pays better than The Signal, but I also live in South Pasadena. I will shorten my commute and be able to cover the community I live in. Before coming to The Signal, I reported and worked in Big Bear, and it was a wonderful experience to feel that your coverage contributes to a community you lived in. I look forward to getting back to that.

SCVTalk:What kind of beat will you cover at the Pasadena paper?

BC:I will cover education at the Star-News, specifically the Pasadena Unified School District. I understands the challenges Pasadena and other communities are having with educating their children. There are plenty of topics to dig into and I am excited about the chance to to dig into these topics. I will plan to borrow heavily from The Signal’s education coverage so I plan to stay in touch with Tammy Marashlian, since she provides excellent education coverage for The Signal.

SCVTalk:Tell us about some of the more memorable stories you covered for The Signal.

BC:Of course, the Acton suicide comes to mind. It emotionally ripped that community apart. Having lived in a small town before, I know how close knit small towns are and how a tragedy can devastate those towns. I am glad that I was able to tell people’s stories without exploiting them. Or at least I hope I did in that instance.

I really enjoyed carrying The Signal banner to Washington to cover the inauguration. It was, of course, a historic moment. It was equally inspirational and I think it signaled to the community that the paper could imagine big projects and execute those big projects.

I also loved the coverage I gave to the Domestic Violence Center. It was great to see a local politician like Cameron Smyth, make change for those most in need.

SCVTalk:You were The Signal’s number one crime reporter for a time. Why do you think there are so many unsolved murders in Santa Clarita?

BC:I covered crime for nine months. I think the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is understaffed. That goes for the whole county not just the Santa Clarita Valley. The sheriff’s department resources are spread thin and until there are more resources within the Department, there will be unsolved murders here and across the county.
But I don’t want to throw this all on the sheriff’s department. Given the freeway access I would assume a lot of these murderers flee the scene without being seen. That makes any investigation tough.

SCVTalk:How does the LA County Sheriff’s Department investigate homicides in Santa Clarita?

BC:The murders are investigated from downtown Los Angeles. It would be nice to have a homicide bureau in the SCV, but when you’re a contract city, you don’t get a local homicide bureau.

SCVTalk:A long-standing rumor in Santa Clarita is that local government and/or business interests try to influence crime reporting in The Signal, usually in an effort to downplay it. Can you comment on that?

BC:During my time at The Signal I never got a call from any government agency, or business, nor did any editor tell me how to write a story. There are attempts by sources to spin a story, but that’s a dance that happens in every community in the nation. When you don’t see something in The Signal or you see thin reporting in The SIgnal, it is usually a reflection of how much verifiable information is available by the time we go to press. In some cases, it’s because we have a small staff that is working as hard as they can to gather as much news as possible, so it is inevitable that some breaking news will be missed.

SCVTalk:Sometimes it seems the local radio station gets the scoop on a crime story before the Signal does. Is that accurate, and if it is, why does that happen?

BC:That’s more of a testament to Carol Rock. She is a veteran reporter who knows how to work sources well. But I will say that comparing a radio to a newspaper is not a fair comparison. In addition to the Web, we have a 20-plus page monster to fill each day. The newspaper, as a product, requires the reporters to dig into more details than broadcast news outlets require and that includes the Internet. So KHTS might have some things first, but The Signal has more details.

SCVTalk:Two stories from the past year in crime generated a lot of interest on SCVTalk. There was a shooting in Bridgeport which was widely reported before dropping off the radar al together, and a suicide in the Sheriff’s station. Can you update us on either of those?

BC:I didn’t cover those stories and don’t have detailed knowledge of the stories.

SCVTalk:What will you miss most about working at The Signal and covering Santa Clairta?

BC:The people. During my time at The Signal, I got to work with some great people and I will miss the people I worked with the most.

SCVTalk:What’s your view of The Signal and local newspapers in general in an age where so-called old media is facing decline and blogs and social media are ascendant? What can The Signal do to remain relevant, timely and competitive?

BC: I wouldn’t say that the two are necessarily related. If you look at the number of people reading the LA Times in print and online, their circulation is actually up. The problem is not whether newspapers are relevant, it’s whether the newspaper business model will continue to work. That’s a revenue side problem and I am far from qualified to answer that question. The blogs on the other hand are offering something I think newspapers should do content-wise. Blogs offer news analysis and readers love second-day or, even better, immediate opinionated reaction to news. That’s a formula that cable news, especially Fox and MSNBC do really well. There is definitely room for The Signal to offer that style of news analysis, but whether the money is there to invest in the staff to do that is again a question I don’t know the answer to. But I will tell you that all newspapers, including The Signal keep a close eye to bloggers because it’s like dipping your toe into the pool to see how people receive what was just in the paper and what our readers are thinking.

SCVTalk:The Signal is one of a several dailies owned by Georgia-based Morris Media. Based on your knowledge and experience, does Morris exert influence in the day-to-day operations of the Signal, either editorially or from a revenue standpoint?

BC:I can’t answer questions about the revenue side, because I didn’t work on that side of the business. I’ve met Charles Hill Morris a few times and he was very supportive of what we did on the news side. As a reporter you are often so buried in your own story that you don’t really deal with the politics of how the company is run. I didn’t feel Morris dictated much of what is done day-to-day at The Signal.

SCVTalk:From your time at The Signal and covering news in Santa Clarita, what do you think are the major challenges facing this community?

BC: Growth, water, under served minority groups and the impact of Disney on the SCV.

Newhall Ranch in coming whether people like it or not. How will the city and county deal with the impacts of that development? How will the school district deal with all those new kids
Growth automatically impacts water. Will there be enough?

Considering the redevelopment efforts in Old Newhall, it’s a matter of time before the Latino population in the SCV begins to demand a seat at the table when it comes to dividing influence and power. Will they get that seat and how? Will the SCV ever considered district elections for city council seats. This is an issue I wanted to get into in 2010. I think the issue of minority representation on City Council will begin to surface in the next few years. I also think the Latino population will begin to flex its muscle in the community both economically and politically.

I also think the Disney studio could change the SCv in the ways that you detailed in your blog months ago. It’s going to inject money into the SCV and make it much more feasible to work and live in the SCV. I also think it may draw in younger families and make the SCV even more diverse.

Many thanks to Brian and we wish him the best at the Pasadena Star-News!

The Write Stuff ? *

Friday, December 18th, 2009

wolframVakay

Lynn Vakay, SCV school teacher, Acton resident, and local Republican Assembly committee member submitted this editorial in today’s weekly “Right Here, Right Now!” Signal column.  There are no credits in the column.

Dr. Gary Wolfram, a professor at Hillsdale College in Michigan, wrote this piece for conservative web site Human Events on November 30th.  That article has no credits either.

BlazingMonk broke the plagiarism charge this morning and backs up the claim with a convincing (if not damning) side-by-side comparison of the two (looks like a source code comparison tool, very chic geek IMO).

I think someone has some ’splainin to do.

Santa Clarita is Glenn Beck Country? Apparently

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Oh SCV, I weep for thee.

A blog I read reported today that TV personality Glenn Beck’s Christmas special, “The Christmas Sweater,” bombed at box offices around the country, selling only a dozen or so tickets in major cities like New York, Boston, DC and such.

In New York, Beck sold 17 tickets. In Boston, another 17. And in Washington, D.C., the hotbed of political activism, his tearful film drew only 30.

Glenn Beck’s new movie The Christmas Sweater – A Return To Redemption – released for a viewing Thursday night inhundreds of theaters across the country. While it performed better in the south and in rural, more conservative areas, his ability to draw viewers in major US markets was a bust.

The weepy show, which was broadcast live on the east coast and tape-delayed for the West Coast, was a one time thing. Tickets cost $20 and Santa Claritans could view it a Valencia Regal cinema.

Yes that’s right. One of Santa Clarita’s 24 screens was devoted to this weepy, self-indulgent tripe produced by a man who has called our President a “racist” who “hates white people or culture.”

But surely there isn’t a market for Glenn Beck’s craziness in the Santa Clarita Valley, is there? I mean we’re not in Alabama right? We’re in California! Close to Hollywood!

Alas dear readers, there is. I just called Regal and the ticket lady told me that while she didn’t stay until the end of the day, she had sold “at most, about 100 tickets” for Glenn Beck’s show. That in a theater that has 200 seats.

So, according to Regal, at least half of the available tickets were sold, perhaps more. That’s $2000 from the SCV straight to Glenn Beck.

I was hopeful last year when we found out the SCV nearly voted for Barack Obama. “Progress! This isn’t my father’s SCV any longer!” I thought.

That is not the case. The tea party event in April drew 1,000 people and 100 plus of my fellow SCVers actually paid to see Glenn Beck cry on the big screen.

Oh well. At least Sarah Palin isn’t coming to our town for a book signing. I think that would make me really despair.

Come on already

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

In today’s Signal is a copy of the very attractive and nicely designed SCV Business Journal. I don’t always find a copy laying around but today I did and it proved to be decent reading over my lunch hour (I listened to KHTS on the way home, making it a real Think SCV lunch).

I especially liked the stats on available retail, industrial and other commercial spaces as well as the stats on housing sales, starts, and such.  Of course this being the SCV, there were copious articles in which business stakeholders report on themselves and their own industries, but scattered throughout were some decent opinion pieces and a good article by Signal writer Josh Premako on the Honda Performance team in the Industrial center.

But I can’t show any of it to you.

Because the SCVBJ.com website is still “under construction.”

Eight months after the Journal debuted. Bummer.

Maybe I should offer to setup a blog for the crack SCVBJ team? It’s not hard!
